Hello, Drhumz, and welcome to Wikipedia! My name is Ian and I work with the Wiki Education Foundation; I help support students who are editing as part of a class assignment.

I hope you enjoy editing here. If you haven't already done so, please complete the student training, which introduces you to editing and Wikipedia's core principles. You may also want to check out the Teahouse, a community of Wikipedia editors dedicated to helping new users. Below are some resources to help you get started editing.

Here are the references for my Wikipedia assignment on sexual dimorphism in owls:

Andersson, M., & Norberg, R. (1981). Evolution of reversed sexual size dimorphism and role partitioning among predatory birds, with a size scaling of flight performance. Biological Journal of the Linnean Society, 15(2), 105-130.

Krüger, O. (2005). The evolution of reversed sexual size dimorphism in hawks, falcons and owls: a comparative study. Evolutionary Ecology, 19(5), 467-486.

Mueller, H. C. (1986). The evolution of reversed sexual dimorphism in owls: an empirical analysis of possible selective factors. The Wilson Bulletin, 387-406.

You should move these to the talk page of the study species so that more users will come across them and can comment on them! Also, are there any popsci articles you might be able to use? It could be on birds in general...Evol&Glass (talk) 19:08, 21 September 2015 (UTC)Reply
